This Part of the Manual contains the recommended removal, overhaul and installa-
tion procedures that should be taken when servicing the steering system on the MF
150, 165 and 175 Tractors.
Determine the possible cause of any malfunction by consulting the "Trouble-Shoot-
ing" Section of this Manual before any attempt is made to repair the system. Follow-
ing this practice will result in more accurate maintenance of the steering system and
will aid in preventing unnecessary repairs.

To adjust, refer to the following chart and proceed as outlined.

2. Carburetor Control Rod - With the engine
stopped, disconnect carburetor control rod clevis
from governor control lever. See Figs. 1 and 2.
THE ENGINE MUST NOT BE OPERATED
WITH THIS CONTROL ROD DISCON-

Move the governor control lever fully rearward
(if linkage is connected, by moving the hand
throttle to the maximum throttle position). Then
move carburetor control rod rearward to the max-
imum throttle position and observe location of
pin holes in governor lever and clevis.
If control rod is properly adjusted, it will be
necessary to move the clevis forward slightly (ap-
proximately 1132 inch toward the closed position)
to align the pin holes. Readjust clevis length if
required, retighten locknut and reconnect clevis
to governor control lever. MAKE SURE PIN

(before distributor advance mechanism starts
operation). Readjust timing as required.

INTRODUCTION

This part of this manual is concerned with the overhaul procedures for the Perkins
AD3. 152 Diesel Engine. All of the procedures and service information contained in
this part assume that the engine has been removed from the tractor and pertain only
to the basic engine itself, without regard to any particular application in which the en-
gine may be used.

NOTE: For specific detailed information concerning the lubrication

systellt and the other engine systems of the AD3.1S2 engine, refer to
the appropriate part within this section of your Ilutilual.

Before starting disassembly, make a complete diagnosis of the engine to be sure

that an overhaul is really necessary. If the overhaul is necessary, inspect the en-
tire engine for any evidence of external leaks, or defective parts, that must also be
corrected before it is assembled and returned to the customer.

Thoroughly steam clean the engine before disassembling it or removing any com-
ponent parts of the fuel system. Also, make sure to cap or otherwise cover all fuel
openings as soon as they are exposed to prevent dirt from entering the fuel system.
CLEANLINESS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND CANNOT BE OVER-EMPHASIZED.

Where the right and left-hand sides are mentioned in this Part, it refers to the en-
gine as viewed from the rear. Direction of engine rotation, however, is viewed from
the front.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The clutch assembly includes a cover with a COVER
splined hub, a spring-loaded pressure plate and ASSEMBLY

a friction disc. See Fig. 1.

The splined hub in the clutch cover is con-

nected to the PTO input shaft and the cover is
bolted to the engine flywheel. Therefore, the
clutch cover and the PTO input shaft will turn
whenever the engine is running.

Nine coil pressure springs are used to obtain

a pressure plate loading of 945 to 1035 lbs.
The pressure plate is controlled by three re-
lease levers.

The friction disc is connected to the main

transmission input shaft and is released by the
clutch release levers and pressure plate. This
controls the tractor drive train and permits the
tractor ground travel to be stopped or started
while the PTO shaft continues to rotate.

This Section contains the recommended overhaul procedures for the standard 6-
speed transmission (dual clutch), removed from the tractor and placed on a stand.
Although some components will vary slightly, (depending upon the unit in which the
transmission is installed i. e. gasoline or diesel engine) the basic overhaul procedures
will remain the same. Refer to the Tractor Parts Book to ensure that the correct
parts are ordered.

For instructions pertaining to removal and re-installation from the tractor using
this transmission, refer to the appropriate tractor "write-up".
